"The bouquet on the â78 Costa Russi is magnificent, offering up notes of intense black licorice, cherries, woodsmoke, mace, a touch of venison, sous bois, and tarry notes. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, round, complex and just a touch more rustic than the utterly polished nose, with fine depth at the core, and excellent length on the finish."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
In Italy's northwest, Piedmont is home to Nebbiolo, the grape behind the powerful, perfumed and long-lived reds of Barolo and Barbaresco. Fog-shrouded hills and calcareous soils define its greatest wines.
Produces Nebbiolo of slightly more elegance and approachability than neighboring Barolo, offering perfume, finesse and firm structure.
